Re: 10AN Oil Cooler set up

When I added a cooler on my Moostang, I figured the additional capacity based on the cooler size (Mocal's specs include the actual capacity of the cooler) + the amount in the lines (somewhere I found a thumbrule of 0.xx qts per ft of -10AN). I think it was right around a quart extra on that car - it has a 25row cooler, so that alone was 0.55qt.

Re: 10AN Oil Cooler set up

I think the oil in the cooler may not all drain out when changing the oil on mine. If it did I bet it would be an additional quart as well. Probably was when I first installed it and filled it the first time I added one extra quart.

Re: 10AN Oil Cooler set up

I'd probably go with an Accusump. All thats needed now is a T fitting in the return line. I'd probably have to think about a mounting spot. Not much room up front.
I've run stock tire sizes on the track most of the time. This year I'm running 275/35s on Team Dynamics like AAIIIC is. I also have a set of KW Variants for this year as well.

On the street I run Yoko Advan AD08s in the stock size. I have rebadged R6s from the GrandAm series (Continentals) in the 275 size. In the spring I will be unloading my trusty H&R / FG2 (only 20K miles) set up which I really am a big fan of. I hope the KWs perform as well. I'm sure they will.

This post reminds me - I've got an Accusump sitting in my garage that I need to install. After looking at several locations I think I am going to fabricate a braces attached to the two points where the radiator sits. if I do that, I will remove the radiator and drill through bottom for the mounting bolts.

Love to see it. Keep us posted. I guess the spare tire tub is to far away huh?

The spare tire tub is not necessarily too far. I discussed locations with Canton Racing's technical folks and they reported a lot of sedans run them in the trunk. They even said that 10 AN would be large enough line for that application. I would be tempted to run 12AN over at least part of that distance or maybe just opt for a higher pressure valve. You could call Canton and ask - they are pretty accessible.

I still have yet to get my setup figured out. Unfortunately, your filter location would interfere with my new brake cooling ducts. (Pictures of that to follow soon, I need to update the brake cooling duct thread.)

The other unfortunate thing is that Earl's doesn't make the spin-on adapter you used in the 13/16"-16 thread. I see it listed for under $35 on Summit Racing. The only equivalent piece I've found is from Hamburger's and costs >$100 on Summit and it has -12AN ports, which means even more money for fittings!
